Background: Life expectancy (LE) analysis was conducted in this study to explore time trends for Canadian mortality rates from 1986 to 2007 by age and sex and compare these trends to socio-demographic characteristics. Objective: To measure Canadian’s LE by age, sex, provinces/territories and health regions, detect lower LE in Canada due to variant lifestyle and socioeconomic status, compare the difference of Canadian LE among these areas over time. Results: Canadians’ LE at birth has increased 3.2 years in 1986-2007 in women, and 5.2 years in men. LE in British Columbia and Ontario were 81.2 and 81.0, higher than the average in Canada (80.7) in 2007. Regions with the highest LE were Richmond Health Service Delivery Area (BC), York Regional Health Unit (ON), and Peel Regional Health Unit (ON) in compared to the three regions with lowest LE: Région du Nunavik (QC), Burntwood/Churchill (MB), and Nunavut Territory in both sexes. Conclusion: LE is lower for males than females, and shorter in the North than in the South consistent with limited primary health care, higher rates of smoking, heavy drinking and obesity, higher levels of long-term unemployment, fewer high school and university graduates, a relatively larger Aboriginal population and being generally rural and remote.
